🌼 Orange Shirt Day: Honoring Every Child Matters 🌼

At our care home, we encouraged all our staff to wear orange today for Orange Shirt Day. 🧡 This day is an opportunity for us to recognize the painful legacy of residential schools in Canada and honor the survivors, their families, and their communities. Wearing orange is a powerful way to show support and remember that Every Child Matters.

We invite everyone to take some time to learn more about the importance of this day and how we can all contribute to reconciliation. Here are some resources to explore:
